Scarlet Whitmore never thought she’d set foot on the Montana plains again. The vast fields, rugged mountains, and windswept skies were etched into her memory, but so were the scars—both hers and her family’s. She left years ago, determined to escape the weight of the Whitmore name, the whispered deals, and the shadows of the land she grew up on. But when her father dies suddenly, leaving the sprawling family ranch in a precarious position, Scarlet is forced home. And what she finds waiting isn’t just grief—it’s a life built on secrets, lies, and a dangerous world she thought she’d left behind.
